The stuff in brackets is optional, mostly just playing the bass. Definitely best to play
as barres, except the C7.
Nice to play the F#dim as 2x121x or 2x1212.
[Intro]
B7 sliding up to C7. They play the B7 as x212xx sliding up to C7 as x323xx.
[Verse]
C7Off our rockers, actin' crF7azy
And with the C7right medication we won't be lazy
Old folksF7 boogie, down onF#dim the farm
C7Wheelchairs, they was locked arm in arm
G7Paired off pacemakers with F7matchin' G7alarms
Gives us C7just one more chance to sG7pin one more yarn
And you C7know that you're over the F7hill
When your miC7nd makes a promise that your body can't fill
Old folks booF7gie, and boogie weF#dim will
'G7Cause to us the thought's as good as a thrill
C7Back at the home, no time F7is your own,
C7Facillities there, well they're all out on loan
The bank forcF7lose, and your bankruptcyF#dim shows
And your C7credit creeps to an all-time low
So you G7know, that you're oF7ver the hG7ill
When your C7mind makes a promise that your G7body can't fill
[Instrumental break]
C7 | % | F7 | % |
C7 | % | % | % | [x3]
C7 | % | F7 | G7 |
[Verse]
Try and C7get a rise from an atrophied muscle,
And the Fnerves in your thigh just F#dimquivers and fizzles
So you G7know, that you're F7over the G7hill
C7When your mind makes a promise that your G7body can't fill
